It's a Flimsy!

 

The Opalescence quilt is now a flimsy. Here is a shot of the back. Regular readers know all the backs of my quilt are this neat.

Here's the quilt. It's a bit lighter in real life, and I'll try to take a picture of it outside if the weather permits over the next few days.

The quilt is pretty, and I like it more than I expected to. While it looks random, it isn't. Each block was placed, and while there are some blocks that seem to blend into each other, I left them there. I wasn't too worried about the overall "scheme," I wanted something that looked fresh and didn't look too perfect.

I remember some terrific advice I got years ago, "You never want your quilts to look like a machine made them." I don't remember the name of the person who said it. 

My own personal corollary is: "You don't want your quilt to look like it's a design you'll find on the tiled floor of a hotel lobby, airport, museum or public building." Yeah, I know. I'm a bad woman. 

I have six yards of this in my stash, and it will be the backing of the quilt. Woo hoo! 

WHAT will I do next?

I don't know either!
